The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 137

137 If only looks could kill … Lyla I jolted awake .

My body was trembling as I gasped for air , my vision was blurry and my head pounded .

Nathan had been trying to pull me from Xander before someone whose face I couldnt see tackled him to the ground .

In my desperation in between Xander pulling me and Nathan struggling .

I had felt that familiar anger .

It started small , the thought that Nathan would be hurt because of me had burned through my heart , coursing through my veins … the last thing I remember was screaming ..

But now , Nathan was perched on the edge of my bed , in an unfamiliar room .

Nanny hovered at the foot of the bed her eyes were swollen and she was trying to hold back her tears .

The High Priestess was there too , there was a wispy smile on her face and Ramsey ….

He was leaning at the wall , our eyes met and held ….

Oh , gods ! Nanny cried as she ran to me engulfing me in a hug .

Youre back … oh … I was terrified .

I feared the worse , oh … My body still felt faint , and my vision was unstable but I allowed her to rock me .

There was no Xander and I wasnt in that old house .

It must have been a dream , only it was too vivid .

What happened ? I asked weakly .

You fell into some sort of sleeping state for a week and a few days now .

Do you still remember that cleansing that was supposed to be done at the White Lake ? The priestess asked .

I stared at her blankly , trying to sort through my memory before I remembered and nodded weakdy .

You just slipped into it from there .

Weve been trying to bring you back , I didnt think this would .

work , the priestess chuckled .

But Im happy youre here .

Do you want to tell us what happened ? Nathan had stood up and was standing awkwardly next to the priestess scratching his head and then he started bleeding through his nose .

Youre bleeding … I said slowly pointing towards Nathan .

What was that dear ? Nanny pulled back Did you say something Nathan ! I licked my dry lips pointing to Nathan Hes bleeding .

Nanny turned .

In the next few minutes , she and the priestess tried to stop the blood .

They hovered over Nathan despite his protest that he was fine , making my head ache more and my vision to swim .

After several attempts , the Priestess sighed .

We need to go to the pack healer to see if he has some healing herbs .

We need to take care of that bleeding .

Its likely a result of the strain you < It only looks erudia kili put on yourself to help Lyla .

I told you to pull back if it was too much ? Tll be fine Nathan said waving his hand .

The bleeding will stop soon , I used to suffer from nosebleeds occasionally ? This is different .

Cmon , lets go , Nanny said .

But … Nathan began , his gaze darting back to me .

No arguments , the Priestess insisted , placing a firm hand on his shoulder .

Youll do her no good in this state and shes not running away .

Miriam , come with us ? Nanny nodded , her worried eyes lingering on me momentarily before following the Priestess out of the room with Nathan in tow .

As the door clicked shut , the room became silent .

My gaze shifted to Ramsey , who was still at the wall and our gaze met again .

There was no awkwardness between us , just quiet tension .

He moved away from the wall and moved closer to the bed , crouching beside me , as his amber eyes searched mine .

Are you okay ? he asked softly .

I nodded weakly , my hands clutching the blanket tightly .

My mind still felt foggy , my thoughts scattered .

For a moment , neither of us spoke again .

Then , hesitantly , Ramsey reached for my hand .

His touch was warm and gentle as he rubbed soothing circles against my skin .

You should rest , he murmured .

Youve been through so much .

I shook my head , trying to keep my eyelids open as my voice trembled .

No … Im scared .

What if he comes back ? It had felt so real .

He locked me up and wanted to use me for something before Nathan showed up .

Im glad he did … I think I was able to use my power to pull back The Priestess did say something similar to that .

Something about anger and fear being a catalyst to use your power but she doesnt know whats making you do all of that since you already lost your powers .

Do you know ? For a moment , I remembered the conversation I had with the wolf and wondered if it had something to do with her .

I closed my eyes for a minute , focusing , wondering if I could hear it speak but silence as usual .

I shook my head in reply .

Youre safe now , okay ? he said gently .

Arent you busy ? I decided to change the discussion .

What are you doing here ? He lifted his bands to my face and stroked my hair , tucking them delicately behind my ear .

TH leave soon : Thats not what I wanted you to say, I grumbled , glaring at him and surprisingly , he laughed .

Producing a rich baritone sound that stunned me .

His smile was beautiful , lightening up his face in a way Id never seen him .

His right cheek was dimpled , why hadnt I noticed that ? I guess youre back with the way youre glaring at me … if only looks could kill .

137 If only looks could kill … It wouldnt hurt to be more expressive , I fired back .

No one will reward you for keeping things to yourself .

Do you know how frustrating that can be ? I only say whats necessary , he shrugged .

Why are you angry at me already ? I havent done anything wrong I sighed , turning my gaze away from him .

Xander is the perfect one for me : I murmured before I could stop myself .

The Dark One ? his brows arched .

Yes ! I turned to face him now .

He has treated me better than you ever did and even more than Nathan .

He treats me like a queen … I sighed deeply If only we were not supposed to be enemies .

I should have loved to keep him .
